Drums Program
Welcome to Our Drums Program
At New Classical Art School, drumming is more than keeping time—it is about rhythm, coordination, creativity, and joy. Our drum program is designed for students of all ages, from young beginners learning their first grooves to advanced players preparing for ensemble work, performances, or specialized study.
We believe that drum study should combine solid technique with artistic freedom. Every lesson is an opportunity not only to improve rhythm and coordination but also to build confidence, expression, and a lifelong connection to music.
